Would you contact them?
Let’s say, in a hypothetical situation, you are doing a survey for a client who’s neighbor has a fence and driveway encroaching into their property and refuses to move it.
While you are doing this survey you see that there is a potential conflict with a property line on the other side of the block as well. The plat is circa 1955 and clearly shows the side lot lines in this block to be 60 to 80 degrees off the front line and the houses are built parallel to the front. While you are searching for survey evidence, you find, on the other side of the block, a fence built square to the front so that it’s about 5 feet north of the line in the back and a couple feet south where it turns into the house.
Would you try to contact these property owners and let them know of this potential problem?
TIA for all of the excellent responses I know this will generate.
